We are often contacted by families that cannot take time off from work, but don’t want to leave their spouse at home without a caretaker.

MoreFall Prevention Tips to Protect Older Adults
As Caregivers, we want to assist older adults to live safe, healthy and independent lives. While falls can greatly affect the overall health and independence of older adults, more emotionally debilitating is the limited ability to remain self-sufficient. It is noted by the Center for Disease Control that “One out of three older adults (those aged 65 or older) falls each year but less than half talk to their healthcare providers about it.” One of the greatest lines of support is open communication and sharing valuable tips that prevent the falls from occuring. Here are a few ways you can guide seniors to prevent falls:
Stay Active
With doctor’s permission, recommend that the older adult consider low impact exercises such as water aerobics and gardening, or more social exercises such as golf and walking. Improving balance, flexibility, and strength with these exercises, will decrease the chances of falling.
Shop for Sturdy Shoes
Buy sturdy shoes with non-skid soles that fit properly. Avoid shoes with heels or floppy slippers and make sure to get feet measured each time a new purchase is made.
